Chapter 798 Really Good Movie, Cooperate with the Hype
In fact, what "I'm Not the God of Medicine" really pays tribute to and learns from is the Korean movie "The Defender".

Not only are the terminally ill members of the drug "purchasing team" in the movie poster with sunny faces and bright smiles, which are similar to the composition of the "Defender" poster.

In addition, in the film, in the scene of farewell to "Cheng Yong" on Changjie, the background music of "The Defender" was also played in a loop during filming to enhance the shooting atmosphere.

Although it borrows from "The Defender" and the practical meanings that the two films want to convey are somewhat similar, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" still has its own thinking and different styles.

Compared with "Dallas Buyers Club", "The Advocate" is more realistic and shocking.

South Korea can always produce some movies that have a huge impact on reality.

For example, the "Melting Pot" that everyone knows, after it was released, it aroused discussions across the country, re-examined the old cases, and specially formulated the "Partial Amendment Law of the Special Law on the Punishment of Criminal Crimes" (also known as the "Melting Pot Law"), known as the "Melting Pot Law". For "films that changed the country of Korea".

"The Defender", which "I'm Not the God of Medicine", paid tribute to, making the "Burim Incident" a topic in Korean society again.

Like "I'm Not the God of Medicine", "The Defender" is also adapted from a true story, and the protagonist's experience is similar. They all start from a down-and-out little person, find a way to make a fortune, reach the pinnacle of life, and suddenly face the crisis of professional ethics and responsibility. Torture, and then become a lone hero against injustice.

It's just that one is Cheng Yong who sells medicine, and the other is Song Youshuo who is a lawyer.

Song Youshuo, who worked smoothly as a tax lawyer, gave up his stable job and voluntarily became the defense lawyer for the "red elements" arrested in the "Burim Incident" to counter the forces of the South Korean military regime at that time.

Think about the plot of "I'm Not the God of Medicine". The protagonist Cheng Yong bought Indian oil from India, and then discovered the Indian generic drug "Glenin" for treating leukemia, and became the exclusive agent. At one time, the business was huge and he made a lot of money. Qian was even dubbed the "God of Medicine" by domestic leukemia patients, and after that, he had conflicts with big pharmaceutical groups and so on.

There are indeed many similarities between the two films, which is why some film and television professionals have lowered their evaluation of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

But no matter what, compared to the reference and imitation of Lao Mouzi and Xiaogangpao, Wen Muye and Xu Guangtou's "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is obviously much more successful.

This movie with many flaws was loved by so many audiences in 2018. Douban's praise was as high as 9 points, and it won a box office of over 30 billion, which proves this.

Focusing on social reality, through shocking true stories, it infects audiences and ultimately affects society, promoting social progress and enabling thousands of leukemia patients to obtain cheaper medicines.

Such a movie is a really good movie!

At the Oscars, Zhou Xia thought of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" because of "Dallas Buyers Club". forgotten.

Now because of this leukemia fan, Zhou Xia was deeply touched when he remembered this matter again.

Even if he pays for this fan's bone marrow and saves her life in the end, there are still tens of millions of leukemia patients who cannot be treated.

As a person who knows the future, he should do more.

Zhou Xia thought to himself.

After the release of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" in that time and space, it was widely acclaimed and the box office exploded. As a film and television practitioner, Zhou Xia also paid attention to Lu Yong, the prototype character of the film adaptation.

He should have been arrested in August last year for 'purchasing a credit card', and then in March 8, he was prosecuted by the local procuratorate for the crime of obstructing credit card management and selling counterfeit medicines.

Finally, after nearly a year, he was finally acquitted in January 300 after receiving a joint letter from 2015 patients requesting judicial authorities to exempt him from criminal punishment.

Now Guangtou Xu is busy filming "Lost in Hong Kong" and has no time to supervise the production of this film. The director and screenwriter of the original film, Wen Muye, has no real story to rely on, and it is impossible to complete a mature script in a short time.

If we wait until the 'Lu Yong' incident is over before preparing the script and shooting the film, it will be two years later.

We must promote this matter to be resolved as soon as possible, and launch this really good movie!
Zhou Xia quickly made up his mind and thought of a good way to do it.

He took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed Yang Tianzhen's number, and asked her to confirm the information. While helping that fan treat his illness, he also collected and investigated the relevant situation of leukemia patients buying medicine, taking medicine, and treating the disease across the country, and contacted his ' A Heart' charity organization, joined the project to help leukemia patients.

In this case, with Yang Tianzhen's sensitivity to stories, she should be able to find 'Lu Yong' soon and report to him.

In this way, he can promote this matter naturally, and finally present this story on the big screen as soon as possible.

After explaining to Yang Tianzhen, Zhou Xia was not busy recalling the movie and writing the script.

He began to search the Internet for knowledge related to leukemia, as well as things related to the 'Leukemia Patient Group', and decided to join the group himself, first getting to know these people from the Internet.

Since Xiaohu stopped looking for Zhou Xia, Yufei has moved into Zhou Xia's room these days.

The two had obviously reached a tacit understanding, which might be the way Xiaohu said to persuade Yu Fei.

Zhou Xia was naturally so happy, and it saved him trouble.

Yufei couldn't wait for Zhou Xia to rest, seeing that he was busy all the time, she simply went to rest by herself.

In the next few days, Yang Tianzhen did exactly what Zhou Xia thought.

While searching for a matching bone marrow for Zhou Xia's fan and preparing for the operation, he also collected relevant information on leukemia patients across the country through various methods, and noticed the matter of 'Lu Yong' and reported the situation to him.

Immediately, Zhou Xia asked Yang Tianzhen to arrange the company's legal team to provide legal support to Lu Yong according to the method he had thought up before.

At the same time, actively contact the patients who are related to Lu Yong, and let them do their part for Lu Yong's early escape from crime.

While busy with this matter, "X-Men: Days of Future Past" exceeded 6 million at the domestic box office, and the main creators also came to the mainland to promote it.

In order to return the favor, Zhou Xia asked Yang Tianzhen to use his Weibo to repost the Weibo of "X-Men" celebrating the box office exceeding 6 million.

The eldest cousin Jennifer Lawrence, one of the leading actors, also came to the "Zhu Xian" crew to visit Zhou Xia.

Since Zhou Xia abandoned her eldest cousin at the Oscar dinner that day, the eldest cousin was very upset. This so-called visit to the class has nothing to do with personal relationships, it is entirely because of work.

Zhou Xia's current influence in the Mainland and Asia is what she values.

As for Zhou Xia, it was also because of work that she actively cooperated and showed the landlord's friendship to the eldest cousin.

Lionsgate, the North American distributor of "The Expendables 3", and Xiahua Film and Television, the mainland distributor, are the promoters of this interaction between Zhou Xia and the big cousin.

The first global trailer of "The Expendables 3" was released, and the promotional campaign for the film started. Zhou Xia and her eldest cousin are the leading actors, and they are also world-renowned superstars. When they interact, there will be news, which is in the interests of both parties.

Even Zhou Xia kept silent about her eldest cousin's ambiguous response to the media gossiping about her relationship with Zhou Xia when she was interviewed by the domestic media.

The big cousin won the Oscar last year, and her acting awards have reached the peak. In addition, in the past few years, the "Hunger Games" series of movies starring the big cousin, "X-Men" and other movies have sold well all over the world. She is worthy of the name Hollywood's popular fried chicken.

And Zhou Xia's "New Detective" will be released in North America in a few days, and he will get up and go to Hollywood to promote it.

At that time, it will be reversed. It is Zhou Xia who needs the support of his eldest cousin, and now he naturally defaults to this cooperation method.
